SPRAY-NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 226,060, dated March 30, 1880.

Application filed April 4, 1.879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. GLAZIER, of Hornellsville, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Spray-Nozzle, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a spray-nozzle for hose and other waterpipes; and it consists in 'a certain novel construction and arrangement of devices for breaking up the stream of water'and converting it to spray without backpressnre on the column.

The construction will be particularly described in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is an end view of the nozzle. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on lineman of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross'section on line y y of Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is a water-pipe, formed at its discharge end with an eye, a, and springlatch b, for connection of nozzle B, as shown; or the nozzle may be attached by other devices which permit its removal.

The nozzle B consists of a conical shell, 0, that flares outwardly from the base that is upon the end of pipe A. Near the outer end of the shell 0 is attached a number of rods or wires, (1, that curve outwardly and converge to a central ring or frame, 0, which is held in place by rods d. The ring a is crossed by bars f, and supports by lugs g a tapering ring, h, in a position above the discharge-opening of the pipe A. The aperture of ring it is of smaller diameter than pipe A, and the end toward the pipe is formed as a knife-edge.

The stream of water discharged from pipe A is first divided by ring h. tion passes through ring h to ring 6, and by ring 6 and rods 61 is broken up and deflected sidewise. The water that passes outside of ring h is thrown against the flaring sides of the shell 0, then thrown forward, and is broken by bars 01. By these means the stream is finely broken up and discharged in a fine spray'or rain from the mouth of the nozzle, and with a tendency to spread more or less, according to the force.

The construction described effects the spraying without back-pressure on the column.

The spray-nozzle can be applied to hosepipes, to fixed water-pipes and fountains, and wherever available.

Having thus described my invention, I claim\55 The central poroutwardly-flaring shell 0, as shown and described, whereby the whole stream is broken into spray.
